 Any suggestions for getting a drone out of a tree? 23m up. Asking for a friend...

 Cut the tree down? Idk 
 I like the way you think
 
 It'll grow back 
 If it was an alder I'm all in. 
 You could shake the tree 🌳 😏  
 Get a crackhead he will get it for $10  
 Not sure $10 would even get you that anymore. 
 maybe a drone with hook/stick and get a bedsheet to catch them both possibly as the fall 
 That would be fun to try 
 The ol’ fav of RC enthusiasts for decades: 

A long, long string attached to a tennis ball / baseball. Get the line looped over the general branch area, then one person on each end take turns see-sawing the branches until it falls out. 

If the drone has the capability, running the props in reverse to try to unhook them can sometimes help. 
 That's a great idea. Thanks 
 A local arborist company who has a skilled climber on staff. I’ve done cat rescues on spurs before. 23m? Most bucket trucks have a 65’ reach if you can get a bucket truck to the base of the tree. Either scenario will likely be $225-255/hr for two men and a means of getting there and back to their shop. 
 That's more than the drone cost.  
 If you have a traditional bow and some microfilament line you might be able to run a larger cord up near it with that and shake it loose.
